The equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point  ( -1 , -2 )  and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5 is y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c ----- eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Given that the line that passes through the point  ( -1 , -2 )  and is perpendicular to the line − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

Given line is perpendicular to  − 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

− 4 x − 3 y  =  − 5

-3y = 4x - 5

3y = -4x + 5

y = \frac{-4x}{3} + \frac{5}{3}

On comparing the above equation with eqn 1, we get,

m = \frac{-4}{3}

We know that product of slope of a line and slope of line perpendicular to it is -1

\frac{-4}{3} \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to it}= -1\\\\\text{ slope of line perpendicular to it} = \frac{3}{4}

Given point is (-1, -2)

Now we have to find the equation of line passing through (-1, -2) with slope m = \frac{3}{4}

Substitute (x, y) = (-1, -2) and m = 3/4 in eqn 1

-2 = \frac{3}{4}(-1) + c\\\\-2 = \frac{-3}{4} + c\\\\c = - 2 + \frac{3}{4}\\\\c = \frac{-5}{4}

\text{ substitute } c = \frac{-5}{4} \text{ and } m = \frac{3}{4} \text{ in eqn 1}

y = \frac{3}{4} \times x + \frac{-5}{4}\\\\y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{5}{4}

Thus the required equation of line is found

Need help???! Explanation too please
Natalija [7]

Answer:

When X=Y every number on either side is the same, for example 1(X)=1(Y)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when X=Y the X value isn't altered in any way to equal Y, so they are the same number, hope this helped!

James reads that 1 out of 6 eggs contains salmonella bacteria. So he never uses more than 5 eggs in cooking. If eggs do or don't
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

B. binomial with n = 5 and p = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that James reads that 1 out of 6 eggs contains salmonella bacteria.

So he never uses more than 5 eggs in cooking.

If eggs do or don't contain salmonella independently of each other, then

probability for any one egg to contain salmonella bacteria is the constant 1/6.

Also there are only two outcomes, either bacteria present or not.

Hence the  number of contaminated eggs when James uses 5 chosen at random has the distribution is Binomial

Here n = no of trials = no of eggs he uses = 5

Probability = 1/6

So option B is right.
